Advanced Meditation! April 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th 

Are you under stress and overworked?
Do you struggle with your emotions?
 
Stress is self-generated, and is the byproduct of fear. Deep down, we all know this. The root cause is that we all live in the past or future in our thoughts—without consciously realizing that both are out of reach and out of our control. Negative thoughts have a destructive effect on our mind, and ultimately they manifest in the form of stress.
 
Learn Vipassana. Gautama became Buddha (the enlightened one) with the help of Vipassana. If he could, why can’t you?
 
Sessions will consist of Breathing, guided meditation, and silent meditation. 
 
Participants will learn about stress and its root cause, body, mind, and energy connection, law of karma, effect of stress on a cellular level.
 
Price: $30 per session. $100 if all sessions are pre-paid (20$ savings). Time: 6-8 pm. Location: Crystal River Gifts 310 N La Fox St #1, South Elgin, IL 60177. Phone: 224-535-8708.

Family Constellations Healing Series Facilitated by Candice Wu, LPC, CYT500 April 24th, May 29th, June 26th, July 24th: $395 for four sessions

Through an intimate small group for four weeks, we will share in a Family Constellations healing circle. Constellations can bring peace, freedom, awareness, and resolve to any life difficulties, including trauma, relationships, spirituality, career, money, love, infertility, health issues, mental health issues or imbalance, difficulties in life, grief, body image, shame, confidence, etc. 
 
Family Constellations cuts through the mind’s story and our ideas of ourselves to a deeper, visceral, energetic, and spiritual level. In a compassionate and healing space, we will begin with grounding and tuning into the body, and then constellate two to three personal constellations each session. We will bring awareness, balance, and healing to ourselves and our ancestry, dead or alive.
 
Time: 11am-3pm. Location: Hamsa Center: 3807 N. Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60613. Event link: http://www.candicewu.com/event/family-constellations-healing-series Contact Candice Wu at candicewu.aum@gmail.com or 248-390-5001 More at www.candicewu.com

Conscious Community Magazine together with Spiritual Learning Center to hold Two Harp Meditation Events April 24th & April 30th 

Mark Brewer is a professional harpist in the Chicago area who leads harp meditations and recorded the Power Chill cd. A lifelong student of spirituality with a unique talent of “captivating” audiences, Brewer brings the healing properties of the harp to people through live meditations. As he plays the harp, an instrument made from natural materials, each string produces a spectrum of overtones that deeply penetrate into the light body to balance the listener, and aid in the healing process. 
 
The first event will be held on Sunday, April 24, 2016 at Spiritual Learning Center, Burr Ridge. Time: 1pm-2pm. Price: $25. Register in advance to hold your place by calling 312-786-0077, or sending an email to SpiritualLearningCenter@gmail.com.  Free Parking.
